'''Vijay Raghunath Pandharipande''' (August 7, 1940 – January 3, 2006) was an [[Indian-American]] [[physicist]], who played a leading role in the development of the nuclear many-body problem.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Pandharipande obtained his [[bachelor's degree|bachelor's]] and [[master's degree]] from [[Nagpur University]] in 1959 and 1961 respectively. He earned his [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] degree from [[University of Bombay]] in 1969.<br />

<br />
In recognition of his fundamental contributions to determining the structure of light nuclei by solving the Schrödinger problem with more than three nucleons using realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions supplemented by three-body forces, Pandharipande was awarded the prestigious [[Tom W. Bonner Prize|Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics]] of the [[American Physical Society]] in 1999.<br />
<br />
His son, [[Rahul Pandharipande]] is a leading mathematician working on algebraic geometry.<br />
